I'm getting the error below when trying to delete a User Source on the gateway webpage. Does anyone have an idea where the production settings are?

```auto
Cannot delete user source "Bingo_Board_Login", the following objects depend on it:
[ProductionSettings: "AuthProfileId"]

```

I have looked at that posting and it is a different error. I am getting `[ProductionSettings: "AuthProfileId"]`.

This User Source is not used in the Gateway Security settings as an Identity Provider nor as a User Source. We are using Classic authentication strategy so the User Source setting is not hidden. I opened every project in designer and ensured no project is using that as their default user source in the project properties.

"ProductionSettings" sounds like a Sepasoft module.

That was it!! Thank you

If anyone has this issue in the future - the setting is in the Gateway Config Webpage under MES Modules \> Settings \> User Source Profile.
